Joanna Chiu, a reporter for the Toronto Star, provides a powerful,
heartfelt account of Chinese immigrants and their fraught
encounters with Beijing’s United Front Work Department, a lavishly
funded government agency that works with the Ministry of State
Security. Chiu tells gripping stories of influence operations in
such disparate places as Australia, Canada, the US, Italy, Greece,
Turkey, and Russia … Chiu’s stories demonstrate in human terms just
how formidable a task it will be to put the US and China on any
kind of cooperative path.
*New York Review of Books*
Chiu’s book is very well written and researched, with plenty of
firsthand accounts from the author. I recommend the book for
everyone interested in China.
*Los Angeles Review of Books*
Brilliantly researched and beautifully written.
*The Globe and Mail*
Doggedly reported and fiercely argued, this cri de coeur offers
essential insight into Beijing’s “aims and activities.”
*Publishers Weekly*
China Unbound reveals Chiu to be an intrepid reporter and
cogent analyst of Chinese politics and society … She has produced a
valuable contribution to public debate, illuminating the enigmatic
Chinese state which is characterized by repression at home and an
ambitious agenda abroad.
*Winnipeg Free Press*
